Re : Pilobolus kleinii
Hi Joop,
I would also identify this as P. kleinii. It is the only Pilobolus species that has ellipsoid spores which are yellow and with spore length >10 µm.

Re : Pilobolus kleinii
Hello Malcolm,
Thanks for the update for me a good identifier is the orange ring just below the subsporangial swelling.
But most of all I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy and healthy 2022, stay safe.
